Thumbs up Hotchkis Swaybars Installed

Just got these bad boys installed. I can't beleive the difference in handling. Understeer is pretty much gone, and it feels so stiff and controlled in the turns. BTW, I am running medium/medium as I do only Street driving at this point.

I had HKS coilovers on before i put on my Hotchkis sways and the difference was still night and day. The best mod for the $$ IMO.

Default i concurr

I also just got my hotchkis sways installed. I also put the hotchkis springs on . The ride is awesome. I thought my car was great in the corners before, but now, It is a true beast in the twisties. This was by far the best mod you can get for the money. The kit lowered my car less than an inch and is just barely noticable, I love it hough as I didnt want to get real aggresive in the lowering aspect. My 19 inch Volks GT7 will be here soon an im guessing it will look sweet with that level of lowering. BEN

Yes, you definitely should. As some of the other response here have indicated, it is one of the best mods for the $$$.
